Patent number: 11964895Abstract: A method of forming a glass sheet comprises: (a) forming a ribbon of glass from molten glass with a pair of forming rollers; (b) reducing horizontal temperature variability of the ribbon of glass to be 10° C. or less across 80 percent of an entire width of the ribbon of glass before the ribbon of glass cools to a glass transition temperature; (c) controlling a cooling rate of the ribbon of glass while the ribbon of glass moves vertically downward within a setting zone such that the ribbon of glass has a first average cooling rate before the ribbon of glass cools to the glass transition temperature and a second average cooling rate after the ribbon of glass cools to the glass transition temperature, the first average cooling rate being less than the second average cooling rate; and (d) separating a glass sheet from the ribbon of glass.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Douglas Dale Bressler, David Alan Deneka, Michael Charles Gerrish, Douglas Hull Jennings, Miki Eugene Kunitake, William Edward Lock, Shyam Prasad Mudiraj, Neil Eugene Partridge, Jeremy Nathan Payne, Eugene Roland Proulx, II, Ryan Christopher Sutton, Steven Howard Tarcza

Patent number: 11946370Abstract: Asphaltene onset pressure of a formation fluid is determined by subjecting the fluid to a plurality of tests where depressurization is conducted at a different depressurization rate for each test while optically monitoring the fluid for asphaltene flocculation. The pressures at which asphaltene flocculation are detected in each test are fit to a curve as a function of depressurization rate, and the curve is extrapolated to a pressure (e.g., 0 psi) to provide the asphaltene onset pressure.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew T. Sullivan, Christopher Harrison, Elizabeth Jennings Smythe

Publication number: 20230029789Abstract: Various embodiments of an interconnect device and modules and systems that utilize such interconnect device are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the interconnect device can include a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB can include a substrate forming a resiliently deflectable element, a conductive material disposed on the substrate, and an electrical contact disposed on the resiliently deflectable element and electrically coupled to the conductive material. The interconnect device can also include a connector that includes a connecting pin configured to electrically couple with the electrical contact of the resiliently deflectable element of the PCB and cause the resiliently deflectable element to deflect when the element contacts the connecting pin.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: John Mark Tischer, Christopher Jennings Madsen, Roger Paul Mann

Publication number: 20230020293Abstract: A connector assembly and method of attaching the same to one or more biosensor module boards. The connector assembly includes a body portion defining a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The connector assembly also includes a coaxial RF connector positioned in the body portion and extending between the first surface and the second surface. The coaxial RF connector includes a ground ring, an RF pin positioned within the ground ring, and dielectric therebetween. The connector assembly is configured to be coupled to an RF detection board such that the coaxial RF connector is operably coupled thereto. The connector assembly is also configured to be connected to a biosensor module board such that the coaxial RF connector is operably connected thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Kevin Thomas McCarron, Rick Morton, Christopher Jennings Madsen

Publication number: 20170329155Abstract: A hybrid contact lens has a rigid gas permeable (RGP) central portion and a soft flexible portion that extends outward from the RGP central portion. The soft flexible portion defines the posterior surface and base curve of the hybrid contact lens that contacts a user's cornea, such that the RGP central portion does not contact the user's cornea while wearing the hybrid contact lens. The hybrid contact lens can be a single lens system with one optical power, or a dual lens system with two different optical powers.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2017Publication date: November 16, 2017Inventors: Neal White, Christopher Jennings, Kevin Pelka

Publication number: 20050021117Abstract: An electrode (30) implants into live tissue. The electrode has a first layer with a first silicon portion (50) forming a tip of the electrode and a second benzocyclobutene (BCB) portion (52) disposed adjacent to the first portion. A second BCB layer (56) is disposed over the first layer. A third BCB layer (58) is disposed over the second layer. The first layer further includes a third silicon portion (54) disposed adjacent to the second portion. A head-stage (40) has a connector (38) coupled for receiving the electrical signals from the electrode. A flexible substrate (90) has conductors for transmitting the electrical signals. A stiffener (94) supports a portion of the flexible substrate. An electronic circuit (96) is disposed on the flexible substrate above the stiffener and receives the electrical signals. A connector (12) is supported by the stiffener and coupled to an output of the electronic circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2003Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventors: Jiping He, Haixin Zhu, Christopher Jennings
